Chapter 3
Su Yinyin "lost" herself in the praises.
He could roll over at two months, sit up at five months, and eat rice porridge very seriously at six months.
The pure aroma of rice paste made Su Yinyin breathe a sigh of relief.
Very good.
This baby’s feeding time is finally over!
She has been looking forward to this day for a long time.
The six-month-old baby sat obediently on the small stool that her father made specially for her, eating rice porridge mouthful by mouthful. She was so well-behaved.
It was not until Su Yinyin patted her belly to indicate that she was full that Mrs. Su reluctantly put down the bowl and dishes.
People say feeding children is difficult, but she doesn’t feel that way at all. Instead, she enjoys it.
The baby's soft and tender little hands touched her round belly, which made her heart melt.
Even when it was my eldest son Su Xian, I wasn't so worry-free.
Su Yinyin was held in her arms again, and she heard her mother praise her: "Our baby is really good, and she eats very well."
Su Yinyin blushed again. Now she could understand some daily conversations and replied with a "hmm" in a low voice.
Although it was not a complete syllable yet, it made Madam Su even happier.
Su Yinyin thought to herself, because I don’t want to breastfeed anymore.
Eat!
She is already an adult!
It’s been six months. Do you know how she got through these six months?
The weather in July was still a little hot, so Mrs. Su took her son Su to the market to buy some fruits and vegetables.
A former colleague of my husband is coming over tonight, so we need to prepare in advance.
When neighbors in Chang'an Lane see the cute little Yinyin, they always say, "Your baby is so easy to take care of."
"Have you never heard her cry?"
“Always smiling.”
Little Yinyin buried her head in her mother's shoulder, her ears still pink.
Stop praising me!
She is about to "rebel"!
Madam Su listened to everyone's praise and replied with a smile: "Yes, she is the best. She never makes a fuss when I do things."
"At most, I can hum twice."
"This is the first time I've eaten rice porridge today, and I ate two large spoonfuls."
The neighbors were envious.
Who wouldn't want to have a baby like this?
Madam Su went to a familiar stall and skillfully selected some fresh fruits and vegetables. She then went to the meat stall to buy some pork belly. Thinking that there was not much fine noodles at home, she went to the grain and oil store to buy some.
Madam Su held the child in one hand and carried the basket in the other. Su Yinyin secretly pulled the basket, trying to share some of the burden with her mother.
The six-month-old baby has no strength, so she has to use all her strength to breastfeed.
The last place they went to was a cake shop that had become popular in the West Market recently. Madam Su wanted to buy some.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the shop, she saw a handsome and noble child staring at her.
To be precise, he was staring at her right hand.
Madam Su looked over subconsciously and found that her baby was holding the basket with both hands to help her share the burden.
"The baby must be exhausted." Madam Su whispered, "Mother can hold it."
Su Yinyin was persuaded again and again before she let go.
It seems that she still needs to grow up a little more!
Su Yinyin's lively expression made the noble child look at her a few more times, and his eyes stayed on her chubby little arms for a few moments.
The three-year-old child restrained his expression and said to the people around him, "It tastes terrible."
Unpalatable?
The shopkeeper's face turned black.
His pastries are the most popular in Xishi!
How can it be unpalatable?
This sentence made Madam Su hesitate.
However, thinking that there would be guests at home, she also wanted to try the quality of the pastries, so she bought some.
Madam Su counted the money and made sure she could hold on until the end of the month.
Su Yinyin was also secretly settling accounts.
She was very good at mental arithmetic and had a clear understanding of the family's financial situation. She leaned on her mother's shoulder and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there is enough money at home.
Logically speaking, as one of the twelve deputy envoys under the West City Military Department, his father's monthly salary should be enough to support a family of four.
But my grandmother is in poor health and needs medicine every month, and my brother’s private school is not cheap.
In addition, there were often old acquaintances in the army who came to join him.
After a while, you have to be careful with your spending.
Su Yinyin sighed, her eyes still on the pastries.
What the three or four-year-old kid said was right, this pastry must be mediocre, the oil is not good, and the rising time is not perfect, how can it be delicious?
If she made it, it would definitely taste a hundred times better!
She can support the family then!
Su Yinyin moved her little fingers and lay on her mother's shoulder again.
I really want to grow up.
The first step to growing up.
Start by not breastfeeding!
She, Su Yinyin, has to be weaned from six months old!
Just wean yourself when you say wean.
Little Yinyin, who used to hum a few times when she was hungry, remained silent until the afternoon.
Madam Su fed the baby several times, but the baby always dodged.
At first, Madam Su didn't notice anything. It was only after she finished cooking dinner for seven or eight people that she realized why the baby stopped drinking milk.
Su Yinyin closed her mouth and refused to eat.
She can eat rice porridge!
Six months!
OK!
But looking at her mother's anxious eyes, Su Yinyin struggled towards the bowl of rice porridge to make her opinion clear.
Rice porridge!
She wants rice porridge!
She is going to "rebel"!
Mrs. Su was dumbfounded when she realized this.
Which baby is weaned so early? Which child doesn’t cry a lot when he is weaned?
This, this is too worry-free.
Her baby is really loved by everyone.
Xiao Yinyin was caught off guard and was kissed again. She also heard her mother praising her: "Baby is so good."
"This is the best baby in the world."
ah?
Will this also be praised?
The baby, who was dazed by the kiss, looked straight at his mother. His soft little face was left with red marks from the kiss, making people unable to help but tease her.
Little Yinyin, who had been hungry for a whole day, finally got to eat the rice porridge as she wished and was praised for it.
After returning, Deputy Envoy Su was extremely proud. He showed off to his old friends with a serious face how cute his baby was.
Su Yinyin was hugged by everyone. She didn't cry or make a fuss, and smiled at everyone she saw. Everyone was extremely envious of her.
The last person was a little different. He was about the same age as Deputy Envoy Su, and he had lost his right arm, so he could only hold her with his left arm. He said, "My daughter is older, and she is at the age of being naughty."
Speaking of his daughter, this man was quite embarrassed.
It was not until the guests left at night that the baby found out the origin of the one-armed man.
"During the last battle in the northwest, he was chopped off his right arm by the barbarians, but luckily he survived."
I spent a lot of money on treating my injuries after I came back.
The military salaries in the court were not paid on time in those years, and his injuries made him lose all his wealth.
Now the whole family is waiting for food and has no other choice but to turn to their old friend in the army for help.
When Deputy Envoy Su spoke to Madam Su, he naturally did not avoid the six-month-old baby and spoke frankly.
I seem to understand some of the words and sentences, but I understand the general meaning.
Su Yinyin calculated carefully.
She has been here for six months, and except for the first three months when she just ate and slept, she couldn't understand what anyone was saying.
This seems to be the seventh group of people in the past three months.
Su Yinyin grabbed her purse and found it was empty.
Madam Su said, "That can't be helped. Today is the 22nd, and there are still seven or eight days before you start paying your monthly salary. If we save on food and expenses, it should be enough."
The old friends that Deputy Envoy Su recognized did not have many problems with their character. He also knew that the people who came today would not come to him for help unless they were really in trouble.
If that family can't even afford to eat, they might have to sell their children.
He would never ignore the brothers who fought with him in the past.
Now that he has a daughter, he really can't bear to see this.
But my wife is in trouble.
Deputy Envoy Su added, "I will go and get some rice tomorrow, enough for this month."
"Work a few more nights on duty and make up the money."
Madam Su shook her head: "It's too hard at night. We have enough food stored at home."
"I do have an idea."
Madam Su was a little hesitant, but said, "I'll make some cakes and try to sell them to supplement the family income."
Madam Su has always been a good cook and her cakes are delicious too.
I bought some items from a snack shop today and wanted to give them a try.
When couples talk at night, they talk about all sorts of things.
The little baby was sleepy from listening in the corner. He asked his grandmother for medicine, and then asked for help from his old friends in the army. His father was still prepared to keep watch for more nights. His mother wanted to make some cakes and pastries to sell. Finally, he asked for his brother's writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, plus her milk.
"It's not surprising that Yinyin has never liked milk and prefers rice porridge."
"I'm afraid the child is too young to eat only rice porridge."
"I'll go find some goat's milk and give it to Yinyin to try. It seems that the children from the rich families all eat this."
Su Yinyin, who was originally sleepy, suddenly opened her eyes.
Mother knew that she didn't like breastfeeding.
Daddy is going to buy cow's milk and goat's milk for her.
Su Yinyin was dumbfounded.
She wants to grow up quickly, but doesn't want to be a burden to her family.
Life at home was already difficult.
Goat milk and cow milk are both very expensive.
"Pu, pu." Xiao Yinyin uttered two syllables, which sounded like a baby's humming.
This sound also attracted my parents.
"Did we disturb the baby?"
"Mom will sing you a lullaby, please."
Deputy Envoy Su's wife stopped chatting at night, blew out the lights and concentrated on coaxing the baby to sleep.
In the night, Su Yinyin's big eyes shine brightly.
She seemed to be causing trouble for the family.
There wasn't much money at home.
She's still making trouble.
What should I do?
Early the next morning, Xiao Yinyin finally fell into a deep sleep with tears in the corners of her eyes.
Brother Su Xian came over before going to school and whispered, "Why is my sister still sleeping?"
Normally he would be awake by now.
Madam Su brought two bowls of milk, one bowl of cow's milk and one bowl of goat's milk, both of which were obtained by Deputy Envoy Su early in the morning.
After cooking it at low temperature, I added a little sugar, divided it into two portions, and let my brother taste it.
"Sister, you slept late last night. Try whichever one you like. We can buy some every day later."
Madam Su naturally would not show favoritism and prepare one for her brother.
The brother shook his head: "No, give it to my sister."
"Yes, dear."
Su Xian pushed him away again, which made Xiao Yinyin, who had just woken up, even sadder. Tears instantly rolled down her eyes.
Su Yinyin couldn't help but shed tears.
She made a mistake.
She's really causing trouble.
Why would she cause trouble for such a good family?
She shouldn't have "rebelled".
The baby's tears made Madam Su, her brother, and Deputy Envoy Su who came in with the food all panic.
What is going on.
Are you having a nightmare?
"Don't cry, baby. Mommy is here. Don't be afraid."
"Don't be afraid, Dad will help you beat the bad guys away."
"Don't be afraid, sister. I will protect you."
Su Yinyin wanted to cry even more. She was such a bad baby.
